A Robot deathmatch. No, Seriously.

The largest robo-deathmatch in the world, Robo Games 2008'll pit nerd-controlled menaces against each other in events like "open combat" (boxing style 1-on-1 in a plexi-glass cage), "android soccer" (3-on-3 legged robots on a carpet pitch), and "bartending" -- where robots are judged on their cocktail variety, and ability to converse endlessly with female patrons while you just want to order a damn vodka soda.
